I have the following `readers.conf` :-

```
auth private {
    key: "private"
    auth: "ckpasswd -f /usr/local/news/db/passwords"
}

access private {
    key: "private"
    users: "aaronngray"
    newsgroups: "private.*"
}

auth public {
   key: "public"
   hosts: *
   default: <norestriction>
}
access public {
   key: "public"
   users: "<norestriction>"
   newsgroups: "comp.*"
}
```
which will not show private newsgroups.

```
auth public {
   key: "public"
   hosts: *
   default: <norestriction>
}
access public {
   key: "public"
   users: "<norestriction>"
   newsgroups: "comp.*"
}

auth private {
    key: "private"
    auth: "ckpasswd -f /usr/local/news/db/passwords"
}

access private {
    key: "private"
    users: "aaronngray"
    newsgroups: "private.*"
}
```
will only show private newsgroups !

Hope you can put me right on this !

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
